Default Key Info?

I'm a bit of a key whore if I'm honest.

Got a standard focus key, the thinner focus spare with a remote off a transit connect and a Jag flip key.

I now what, erm... it's a 90's key that had a light built into it. I remember my Mums old Orion had one.

I saw one the other day that had a transponder (allbiet red, I could swap the chip over?).

Anyone know if you can still get these keys from ford?

Also is there a maximum amount of keys you can have programmed to a car?
As I fancy a new focus flip key now too

Bailes.

I do too... But either way, I like having different keys for my car

I got nothing else I really want to spend money on in terms of my car, so a couple of quid on a new key to keep me happy aint going to hurt

The older Fords had torch keys, however they really do look tacky today, but each to there own I guess, and yes I am sure there is a limit to the amount of keys you can have programmed simultaneously.

To be honest I am surprised they were still going when immobiliser's came on the scene, originally they were just keys, before immobilisers become common place.
